I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.
Character actors just pile up the credits because you work on a movie for like a few days. It's not like I'm the lead in everything I do - far from it. I'm not spending three or four months on a picture; I'm spending three or four weeks. Sometimes three or four days.
I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
Just because people want to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow.
I never know what I'm going to get. A 'Sopranos' fan is very different from a 'Big Lebowski' fan.
